Definitions
- the present invention relates to a LED-based light-emitting device.
- LED-based light-emitting devices are becoming more and more popular.
- One of the reasons for this popularity is the long lifetime of LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
- the lifetime of currently available LED-based light-emitting devices may sometimes be limited not by the LEDs themselves, but by other parts of the light-emitting device, such as the electrical connection between LED-module and circuit board.
- a LED-module In currently available LED-based light-emitting devices, a LED-module is often soldered to a regular printed circuit board (PCB), which may often be made of, for example, FR-4. Due to mismatch in the thermal expansion behavior of the LED-module and the PCB, temperature cycling may eventually result in defects in the solder connection between the LED-module and the PCB, which may lead to premature failure of the LED-based light-emitting device.
- PCB printed circuit board
- WO02/12788A1 discloses a LED assembly including an electrically and thermally conductive heat dissipater sandwiched under an electrically insulating layer with circuit traces disposed over the insulating layer to prevent electrical conduction between the traces and the heat dissipater.
- a plurality of LEDs have electrical leads extending laterally from opposite extremities of each LED to overlie the traces for electrical contact with the traces for powering the LEDs.
- An independent and generally U-shaped holding device as viewed in cross section, defines a base overlying the LED and a pair of legs depending therefrom and transversely to the electrical leads between the LED and the heat dissipater. The base defines a hole and the LED protrudes through the hole to emit light.
- the insulating layer includes a void surrounding each LED and the legs of each associated holding device and each holding device includes a tensioning portion for applying a force urging the LED through the void and into thermal engagement with the heat dissipater and the electrical leads thereof into engagement with the traces.
- a circuit board may, for example, be ceramic-based.
- a general object of the present invention is to provide an improved LED-based light-emitting device combining a long lifetime with the potential for low cost solutions.
- a light-emitting device comprising: an LED-module comprising at least one LED or LED die mounted on a carrier and at least one connection pad for electrical connection of the LED module; a heat dissipator for dissipating heat generated by the LED when in operation; a connection board comprising a substrate having a conductor pattern for enabling provision of external power to the LED module; an interconnecting arrangement electrically interconnecting the at least one connection pad of the LED module with the conductor pattern of the connection board; and an LED-holder pressing the LED-module against the heat dissipator to provide a thermal connection between the LED-module and the heat dissipator, wherein: the interconnecting member is configured to allow movement between the conductor pattern of the connection board and the at least one connection pad; and the LED-holder exerts a spring force to press the LED-module against the heat dissipator.
- the present invention is based on the realization that an improved lifetime of a LED-based light-emitting device can be achieved at a lower cost than in prior art solutions by pressing the LED-module against the heat dissipator using a spring force and providing an electrical connection between the connection board and the LED-module that allows at least lateral movement between the conductor pattern of the connection board and the connection pad of the LED-module.
- a robust electrical connection as well as good heat dissipation is provided even when there is a substantial mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the LED-module (often ceramic-based) and the connection board (typically FR-4 or similar).
- This provides for a light-emitting device with a long lifetime and at a lower cost and/or with a greater design flexibility than other proposed solutions, such as using a connection board in the same material as the LED-module.
- the LED-holder is advantageously formed by the connection board and at least one holding spring attached to the connection board.
- the interconnecting arrangement comprises at least one electrically conducting connection spring attached to the connection board and in electrical contact with the conductor pattern of the connection board, the at least one connection spring exerting a spring force to press against the at least one connection pad of the LED-module to electrically interconnect the at least one connection pad of the LED-module with the conductor pattern of the connection board.
- connection spring(s) and the connection pad(s) can be made to remain intact over a large number of cycles of relative movement between the connection spring(s) and the connection pad(s), and can thus be made more reliable than a “normal” solder connection would be.
- the at least one connection spring may advantageously be made of metal.
- the at least one connection spring constitutes the at least one holding spring, to simultaneously electrically interconnect the at least one connection pad of the LED-module with the conductor pattern of the connection board and press the LED-module against the heat dissipator.
- the connection spring will fulfill two functions—to provide a reliable electrical connection between the LED-module and the connection board, and to press the LED-module against the heat dissipator to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the LED(s) comprised in the LED-module when the light-emitting device is in operation.
- the at least one holding spring may exert a greater force on the LED-module than the at least one connection spring exerts on the LED-module.
- the connection spring may be optimized for providing a contact force on the connection pad of the LED-module that is sufficient to provide electrical connection, but not necessarily to ensure a good thermal connection between the LED-module and the heat dissipator, while the holding spring may be dimensioned to provide a force that is sufficient to achieve a good thermal connection.
- the at least one holding spring may advantageously be dimensioned to exert a pressure on the LED-module that is at least 20% higher than the force exerted by the at least one connection spring on the its associated contact pad(s).
- the at least one holding spring and the at least one connection spring in this case may be provided as different portions of a single sheet of a resilient material, such as sheet metal, whereby the above-mentioned dual functionality can be achieved using a single piece comprising a holding spring portion and a connection spring portion. This provides for simple and cost-efficient manufacturing.
- connection board may advantageously comprise an opening accommodating the LED-module, such that the LED-module is at least partly surrounded by the connection board.
- the design of the connection board, including the position and shape of the opening can easily be adapted to different LED-modules, which simplifies upgrades etc involving using another LED-module in the light-emitting device.
- the opening in the connection board may be substantially rectangular, and springs may be provided on opposite sides of the opening.
- the at least one holding spring and/or the at least one connection spring may advantageously be soldered to the connection board.
- connection board comprises a moulded interconnect device into which one end of the at least one holding spring is clamped. This clamping provides for an improved mechanical fixation of the at least one holding spring.
- the moulded interconnect device comprises a hole filled with solder which is electrically contacting a part of the at least one holding spring. In this way the mechanical fixation of the at least one holding spring by the moulded interconnect device induces less stress on the solder.
- the solder may electrically contact a conduction pattern of the moulded interconnect device.
- the at least one holding spring and/or the at least one connection spring may, furthermore, be a leaf spring.
- Leaf springs which may be made of sheet metal, can be arranged using pick-and-place machinery, and can be soldered to the connection board.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a first exemplary embodiment of the light-emitting device according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a light-emitting device
- FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-section of another exemplary embodiment of the light-emitting device according to the present invention.
- connection board has a rectangular opening that completely surrounds the LED-module and sheet metal leaf springs are soldered to the connection board.
- the scope of the invention which is equally applicable to other light-emitting devices having an LED-holder that exerts a spring force to press the LED-module against the heat dissipator and an interconnecting member that allows movement between the connection pad(s) of the LED-module and the conductor pattern of the connection board.
- springs such as one or several helical springs or plate springs, could be used to press the LED-module against the heat dissipator.
- the interconnecting member may provide the desired relative lateral movement by other means, such as through a flexible wire that is electrically connected to the conductor pattern of the connection board and the connection pad(s) of the LED-module.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a first embodiment of the light-emitting device according to the present invention.
- the light-emitting device 1 comprises a heat dissipator in the form of a metal heat sink 2 , a LED-module 3 , a connection board 4 and a cover 5 .
- the light-emitting device 1 further comprises springs 7 a - d and a connector 8 for allowing the provision of external power to the LED(s) in the LED-module 3 .
- the springs 7 a - d and the connector 8 are soldered to a conductor pattern (not shown) of the connection board 4 so that at least two of the springs 7 a - d are connected to appropriate pins of the connector 8 .
- the LED-module 3 is provided with at least one LED (covered by the lens 9 in FIG. 1 ) and two connector pads 10 a - b for allowing electrical connection to the LEDs. Furthermore, the connection board has a rectangular opening 6 that accommodates the LED-module 3 .
- the springs 7 a - d will press against the connector pads 10 a - b of the LED-module 3 when the light-emitting device 1 is assembled, so that electrical connection between the connector 8 and the LEDs is achieved while at the same time pressing the LED-module 3 against the heat sink 2 .
- the springs 7 a - d perform the double function of providing electrical connection between the appropriate pins of the connector 8 and the LEDs of the LED-module 3 and pressing the LED-module against the heat sink 2 .
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a light-emitting device 20 , which differs from that described above with reference to FIG. 1 in that the electrical connection between the connector pads 10 a - b of the LED-module 3 and the connector 8 and the pressing of the LED-module 3 against the heat sink 2 is achieved by spring arrangements 21 a - b made of sheet metal.
- the spring arrangements 21 a - b are, as can be seen in FIG. 2 , attached to the connection board 4 on opposite sides of the substantially rectangular opening 6 .
- each of the spring arrangements 21 a - b comprises a connection spring portion 23 and a holding spring portion 22 .
- connection spring portion 23 has a relatively narrow profile and the holding spring portion 22 has a relatively wide profile, which means that the holding spring portion 22 has a higher spring constant than the connection spring portion.
- the connection spring portion 22 is dimensioned so that the force exerted by the connection spring portion 23 on the connection pad(s) 10 a - b of the LED-module 3 becomes sufficiently high to achieve a reliable electrical connection between the connection spring portion 23 and the connection pad(s) 10 a - b , but not so high that it results in contact surface wear over time.
- the connection spring portion 23 is dimensioned to achieve the function of electrically interconnecting the connection pad(s) of the LED-module with the conductor pattern of the connection board 4 .
- the holding spring portion 22 is dimensioned to exert a substantially higher force on the LED-module 3 when the light-emitting device 20 is assembled.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-section of an embodiment of a light-emitting device 30 according to the present invention.
- the light-emitting device 30 is in most aspects similar to the embodiments described with reference to FIG. 1 , the main difference being the connection board which for this embodiment is a molded interconnect device (MID) 31 .
- the light-emitting device 30 comprises the heat dissipator in the form of the metal heat sink 2 , the LED-module 3 and the MID 31 .
- the LED-module 3 is provided with at least one LED (covered by the lens 9 ) and two connector pads 10 a - b for allowing electrical connection to the LEDs of which only connector pad 10 a is shown in FIG. 3 .
- the light-emitting device 30 further comprises the springs 7 a - d of which only the spring 7 b is shown in FIG. 3 .
- the springs 7 a - d have similar properties as described with reference to FIG. 1 .
- one end of the springs 7 a - d is mechanically fixed in the MID 31 and the opposite end of the springs contacts and exerts a pressing force on a part of the LED module 3 , for example the connection pads 10 a - b for establishing an electrical contact.
- the springs 7 a - d thus press against the connector pads 10 a - b of the LED-module 3 when the light-emitting device 30 is assembled, so that an electrical connection between the connector 8 and the LEDs is achieved while at the same time pressing the LED-module 3 against the heat sink 2 .
- the springs 7 a - d are electrically connected to the conductor pattern (not shown) of the MID 31 via solder 32 that is applied in vias or openings of the MID 31 , which vias or openings expose a part of the springs 7 a - d that is clamped inside the MID 31 , and thus establishing an electrical interconnection from the conductor pattern of the MID 31 via the springs 7 a - d to the connector pads 10 a - b .
- the MID 31 gives more freedom in choosing the shape of the connection board than a for example laminated printed circuit board. This embodiment provides for an improved reliability because the springs 7 a - d are clamped in the MID 31 , thus achieving an improved mechanical fixation.
- the opening 6 need not completely surround the LED-module 3 .
- the spring component it could be designed as an SMD component (as in the other examples), but also possible is a through-hole component. Or as a component that is inserted into a hole (not below PCB level) scraping into the PCB material. This way a component can be created that can accommodate a higher total force because the solder connection is not the sole interface transmitting the force.
